Picture catchup!

The center of town-- there´s a market really near here as well. See the colors?
Meet ¨La Gorda¨. I´m fairly sure that she´s actually supposed to be a statue representing-called maternity, but it´s like the Bean in Chicago... nobody calls it the ¨Cloud Gate¨.
Lots of influences from the United States have made it here, and the cleanliness and organization are very important to the people of Spain. (My house? Clean clean clean clean clean.)
The stairs of death. You can see the top part of el Seminario at the top. (The place where we have classes.)
This isn´t from last week, but it´s a better picture than the one I was going to post. It´s my host mother (Maria Josè, or Mamà to me) and my housemate (Taylor).

Seeing is believing, eh? And there was another one in the mall!! What is the connection between yarn and lingerie here!?
My friend Zach. He has the honor of having his picture posted because doesn´t he look like Phil Lentz!? I don´t know if it´s just me or what, but on the plane I kept seeing him out of the corner of my eye and having a jolt-- hey, it´s Phil! Wait a minute... But they act the same and they have the same laugh and it´s really unnerving.
I took this picture on the bus ride from the airport in Madrid to Oviedo. I don´t know where it is, but it sure is pretty. (And I will have you all note that I took this photo through the window of a bus moving at over 50 mph, and I didn´t have a window seat. ...let´s just not mention the 50 other pictures I took that didn´t turn out well, shall we?)

This is the cathedral of Oviedo, and it´s one of the most popular things for Oviedo publicity pictures (complete with lots of postcards.)

Okay, that´s all for now!
